Hey George, I have reverse engineered the Video portion of DVI, at least enough to get 80x25 mode working in VirtualT. I was working on a modern equivalent called TDock, but discovered I had less than zero time between work and two young kids. The idea at the time was to build an expansion

I currently have 2. Until a few months ago I didn’t have any and had never seen a working unit. Now I have 2 great working units. I allows the M100/102 to display on a monitor rather than the small LCD. It also gives it one or 2 disk drives. They are great, if finicky. Randy > On Jul 24,

Don't forget the Video part. Many moons ago I had a DVI with a model 100 and a monochrome monitor. Suddenly you had 80-column text. Combined with the extra storage of a floppy I felt like I was in heaven. On Tue, Jul 24, 2018, 2:26 PM wrote: > Oh! Well I've owned my M100 for years now and I had
